Springs on a 2.2 HELP!!

I wanna get some lowering springs for my 2.2 balt. i just dont know which ones to go with.
Can people with a 2.2 post pics and list what springs you have and the drop that it made. i dont want anything to big of a drop cause i will scrape all the time.

I got Canuck Motorsport springs on mine. 1.9/1.6 drop. It leveled the car right out. Ride is excellent. Here are some pics:







I've had them on for about 6 months and havn't had any problems!

I looked into lowering my car a couple months back. i also bought rims/tires and wanted to know which rim size would look best with a certain drop. I ended up buying 17" rims w/ 215/45/17 tires. They looked the cleanest with Tenzo-R 2.0/2.5 drop. There are also SSC Springs that drop the LS 1.75 front / 2.25 rear. Which i think im actually going to go with because i have a 3inch exhaust, and if i drop my car 2.5 in the back, its going to be close and may crush it. Searching isnt that hard, it takes about 10 minutes and you will find everything you need to know on each of the springs out there. A drop of 1.75 - 2 front and 2.25 - 2.5 in the back will look great. And if you dont have a lip kit, scrapping should be too bad. you just have to learn to drive with it, thats all.

If you have jacked up roads u may want to go with the prokit from Eibach.. but if you arent worried go with the sportlines... The Tenzo's and H&R ones may be to low.. Definitely the H&R those are LOOOWWW
